Stocksy is just one of a number of contributors to AS Premium.  We're really excited about it.

We've known about this for some time.  It was discussed extensively in our forums when the opportunity arose, and the terms and details got a very positive response from the contributor base.  We feel Adobe is a great company to partner with (especially given the options, lol). 

I assume when you say "we", you mean Stocksy members because I don't see the excitement elsewhere.
You probably know more details than we do about this partnership and contributors' (cooperators) commission. Probably they will not be payed with AS flat 33%.

Some people who really knows what stock is don't see AS contributors' future in such a bright light.

Of course, I wish all Stocksy colleagues much success.

I can go weeks and weeks and still see my earnings to be the same. I wish I could just remove everything.

Same thoughts here too.
I am stuck at $86.84 and nothing happens, $ 0.35 for May.

While submitting an image today I've noticed that the free section is turned on.
I had turned it off previously and it was off by default.
I've checked my previous files and it seems it was turned on for some time.
I am not sure how this happened.

Default is "yes" for free section, it always was that way. It resets to "yes" each time. First thing I do when uploading is : select all images, turn off free images, deselect all.

If I remember correctly, only rejected images go to the free section if this option is set to "yes".

Thanks for the answer Mat.
I hope they can fix the difference between the two portfolio layouts mentioned above too.

Ah, I see what you're saying.  There's a difference between this:
https://stock.adobe.com/search?creator_id=205335036
and this:
https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/205335036/seanlockephotography

I have the first bookmarked so that's what I always use.  The second is what you get when you click a contributor's name.  Yes, a search should always have the same interface available.

In other words, the site is useless for buyers. Now I know where my sales are. Thank you Sean.

@Mat,

I said that I have two questions but I have a third one too:

I don't see on my AS portfolio any kind of filters of sorting. Images are presented to the buyer in a single way, the layout that FT calls relevance. There is no possibility for the buyer to sort images by any other criteria like new or popular, whatever.
No sets, no filters, photos, videos, illustrations all mixed in a big mess.

I can't expect from a buyer who wants to buy videos to check all my pages one by one to find what he needs.
Why would he lose so much time when there are other agencies with a clearer interface?

These are the things that should be fixed first, more options for buyers are very important. Maybe you could mention these things to your superiors.

It's more than a year now, how long for AS to catch up with other agencies?

So I'm not alone. I had a selective review in December with some Christmas related approved but older ones left behind.
They may not like them but then why don't they say so?

Thanks, I'll do that.

Dodie, it is not only you with 25, 29, 32 cents.

A suppose Adobe Stock is following the same way like SS and the rest, in the long run. What else??

I didn't want to say it myself but that is what I was thinking too, copying SS methods.
Although SS has many other advantages like editorials while AS brought nothing new, just more rejections for what was previously permitted. I was waiting to see a revolution ( in our favor) in microstock from such a big company like A.

My earnings are going well on FL so it may not be the agency as such. Just saying.

Glad to hear that.

For me, well earner images from last year are still there but big credit sale like $4.46; $2.36; $1.65; $1.5; $1.13;......as of April 2016 don't happen any more. Mostly I got is $0.26 ($0.29 - tax) and 1 credit $0.25. That is where the difference comes from but as I said before, it could be just my long lasting bad luck.

Or it could have something to do with this or other plan change:

The transfer of credits to standard licenses requires the purchase of an Adobe Stock plan. The royalty you earn for licenses will initially be $0.99 per image, with each image during the promotion representing one converted credit. Soon thereafter, we will move to pay a royalty at 33% of the image price based on the specific, undiscounted product that was purchased by the buyer. For reference, based on some of the most popular Adobe stock plans, the small image plan of 2 images per month will earn you $3.30 in royalties for each sale. Licenses from the 10 images a month plan pay out at $0.99, and sales from a large subscription plan with 350 or 750 images a month guarantee a minimum payout, which is $0.25 - $0.40 based on your Fotolia rank. We'll be monitoring royalties and payouts closely to keep a careful eye on the success of our contributors.

Hi Mat and many thanks for being here with us when needed.

I see that everyone here is very content of how things are going. I don't want to shoot the messenger but as you asked for feedback, I have to ask two questions:

1. Why do we need an auto-keywording tool when most contributors already have their metadata on file at the moment of upload? If I remember correctly, there was an announcement in the past that AS/FT reads the metadata even from video files.
Auto-keywording failed even for the mighty Go0gle, so why waste time with something not needed?
Also, the upload process on FT was already one of the fastest of all agencies and upload never ever failed in the past like it does on AS.

2. My second is probably off topic but if we are talking about time invested in enhancing features, I have to ask this:

FT was my bestseller till mid last year but after AS overtook the agency, sales are dropping slowly but continuously, sinking to 30% earnings in 2017 compared to 2016.
It could be just me but I still want to ask, is it worth to further upload to an agency that became one of the low earners (despite the poll on the right).

What is Adobe doing in this regard?

Thank you very much.
I just checked my PayPal and I was payed too. I just got confused because that amount was not yet deducted from my balance.

Problem solved.
